Captain Dragon Escapes and Molag Disappears!

By Bekka Mouri

The cell door’s hinges cracked and fell to the floor. Captain Dragon emerged, dirty and panting. He had slammed into the door repeatedly until the rusted hinges crumbled. The whole reason this part of the dungeon was no used was because it was in such horrible disrepair.

He looked around and slowly made his way towards the front of the dungeons, hoping one of the guards there could provide him with something wear until he reached his chambers. He had no idea what time it was but he didn’t care. He was going to show his cousin who was in charge. He was prepared to kill him if he had to.

The guard at the main door gaped as Captain Dragon came into view. He bowed hastily, “ Captain! What happened? “

“ I have no time to explain. Provide me with some clothing so I can punish who is responsible for this. “

“ Yes, Captain, “ The guard bowed and scurried off. He returned a few moments later with a pair of plain black pants and plain black shirt. Captain Dragon pulled them on quickly and thanked the guard before leaving the dungeons. He blinked a few times as he watch the captain take the stairs two at a time, knowing whoever had locked him down here was in for the beating of his life.

Hagger walked down the hallway along the second floor of the castle. She stopped as something just outside the window caught her eye. She grinned wickedly at a slave working down by the horse stables. He was a very tall and muscular Drule with long white hair tied back in a ponytail.

The early morning sun dance along his body, highlighting his well defined muscles as he worked. “ Oh my! Look at that! I simply must add him to my collection of boy toys! “ She cackled to herself, searching for a staircase that would lead downstairs the quickest.

Captain Dragon stepped into his chambers, finding them empty. ~Heh. He must be on patrol. He is trying very hard to no arouse suspicions. When there are two Captain Dragons, his cover will be blown.~

Samara watched as Captain Dragon got dressed. She had run across him on her early morning walk and they stole away to a guest room. An odd feeling burned deep inside of her. She knew something was wrong with him now.

Their lovemaking had been cold and emotionless, not hot and fiery like it usually was. It was like he didn’t want to love her and his mind was somewhere else. He never said her name the entire time he was pleasuring her. To her, it felt like he was doing it to please her and not himself.

“ Is there something wrong? “ She asked as he finished buttoning his collar.

He turned and looked at her, “ No. Why do you ask? “

Samara shook her head, “ You seem so distant, almost like you are not yourself. “

“ I have had a lot on my mind, darling. That’s all, “ Dragon walked out the door without another word.

“ Oh no. I don’t think that is all. I am going to get to the bottom of this and I’m going to do it right now, “ Samara said to herself, picking up her clothes to get dressed.

Mehrunes walked down the hall, his body feeling like lead. He had thought having a release would curb his raging desire but it just made it worse. He wanted to taste Bekka more than ever now. It took all of his willpower not to call out her name as he pleasured Samara.

~If I do not find her soon I will surely explode,~ He ran a hand through his hair. He took in a sharp breath as something caught his eye. For a moment, he could have sworn he saw his cousin. ~There’s no way. He is locked away in the dungeons. Lack of sleep is making me see things.~

A few moments later, he found out he was wrong. Standing before him was the real Captain Dragon in full uniform. “ So, cousin. I have finally found you. Did you really think that you could pull this off? “

“ You! But how did you escape? “ Mehrunes stepped back.

Captain Dragon chuckled, “ If you had been listening when I was showing you around, you would have known why that part of the dungeon was not used anymore. It was in such bad disrepair, even a relatively strong child could escape from any of those cells. “

Mehrunes lunged at Captain Dragon but he stopped him by placing his laser gun right between his eyes. His finger rested on the trigger as he smiled, “ I will not hesitate to use this, cousin. I am prepared to make you a deal. “

“ And what would that be? “ Mehrunes whispered, knowing by the look in his cousin’s eyes he was serious. His eyes strayed to the gun between them, “ How did you get your gun? “

“ You forgot to arm it when you left my chambers this morning. Tsk tsk, what if someone tried to assassinate the king and you could not save him because you were not armed? If they had succeeded, you and everyone here would have been destroyed. “

“ What if they had not succeeded? “ Mehrunes tried to stall Captain Dragon.

The captain’s finger twitched, “ It would have been the robeast pits for you. That’s just where you may end up if you are convicted of impersonating an officer of Zarkon’s personal guards. However, I can make sure you live. I am feeling… charitable today. “

“ How will you do that, cousin? “

Dragon’s finger twitched again, “ I will let you go but you must promise never to come here again. I may be bound by family tradition to honor you but, as an officer in his highness’ army, I do not have to honor you at all. You are below me. “

Mehrunes thought it over. If he could somehow get word to his bounty hunters, they could finish the job for him and bring the girl to him. He decided that was his only option and nodded, “ As you wish, cousin. I will be gone before the sun had risen high in the sky. “

“ I knew you would be smart, cousin. Now, I will show you out once I get my uniform back. Come along. “

Clavicus had looked everywhere for Molag and could not locate him. The hunters were using him as a spy in the slave quarters to monitor gossip and whatnot. He checked with him every day to see if he had heard anything about the slave girl. He got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach because the giant Drule was not that hard to spot in a crowd.

He also had not seen Mehrunes for a long time. They would often cross paths several times a day and he hadn’t seen him since morning. He looked to the front path of the castle and froze. Captain Dragon and two armed guards were leading Mehrunes out of the palace.

Clavicus watched as Dragon pushed his cousin out of the front gate and slammed it shut. “ And don’t come back! “ Dragon shouted.

Clavicus waited until the guards and Dragon went back into the palace. He looked around before going to the gate. Mehrunes was walking away from the gate but Clavicus called out to him, “ Master Dagon! “ He whispered loudly.

He turned and walked back to the gate, “ Clavicus. I want you to gather the others and meet me here at midnight. We are going after the girl tonight. “

~So, Bekka was right about her former owner’s children coming for her. It’s not surprising that man hired bounty hunters. Did Peryite say if the master was within the palace walls?~ Michelle scratched Sudan behind the ear as he related Peryite’s tale to her.

Peryite was still asleep next to her. He seemed worn out from crying most of the night. She curled a lock of his soft white hair around a finger, wondering what she was going to tell the others about this strapping young lad who poured his heart out to a liger. She sighed, wondering how someone that seemed so innocent had gotten involved with something so evil.

~I think his master is the man masquerading as Captain Dragon. He smelled very dangerous to me when we met him yesterday. I sense he is also not very sane.~

Michelle grunted, ~He’s nuts if he thinks he can come into the palace and try to take one of Lotor’s women.~

~The boy told me that his master is obsessed with her. He told me everything, thinking I could not tell another living soul. I feel like I am betraying him a little bit but he needs help from someone who can speak to him.~

Michelle nodded, ~I guess you’re right but what are we going to tell everyone else?~

~We’ll just have to make something up,~ Michelle sighed, looking over at the sleeping man next to her. ~Maybe he can help us with that much.~

Samara walked down the hallway, looking for anyone who could help her. Her suspicions about Captain Dragon not being the real Captain Dragon had been realized. What she needed to do now was get someone to help her make the imposter spill his guts. Before she could find anyone, she saw him coming in from the courtyard.

He saw her and smiled, “ Samara! “

Samara arched an eyebrow. He seemed to be happy to see her. When he left her, he had been sullen and cold. She waited as he approached her and gasped when he scooped her up in his arms, hugging her tightly as he planted a hot kiss on her mouth.

“ Are you that surprised to see me, my dear? “ He asked after pulling out of the kiss.

Samara looked into his eyes. They did not have the same look as earlier. They looked like he recognized her. “ Is it really you? “

“ So you met my imposter, eh? “ Dragon narrowed his eyes. “ Did he do anything to you? “

“ I slept with him only because I thought he was you. “

Captain Dragon growled, “ I should go hunt him down and shoot him between the eyes. “

“ Perhaps you should find out what he was doing here in the first place. Why would someone want to impersonate you? “ Samara asked.

“ I don’t know but I am going to find out. I noticed some strange looking guards around here and I want to question them. They look vaguely familiar but I can’t place their faces anywhere. Perhaps my cousin had friends in here with him. “

“ That was your cousin? “ Samara gasped, “ I could have sworn he was your twin! “

“ So did Zarkon. I think that is what gave that bastard the idea to impersonate me, “ Dragon muttered. He released Samara and took her by the hand, “ Come along. I think I saw one of those fake guards by the wall. “

Molag whimpered as the naked woman looked him over. She was the scariest thing he had seen in his life. She licked her lips as her eyes glided over his nude body; she had removed what little clothing he had on. “ Ma’am, I don’t know who you are! Why are you doing this to me? “

“ I am Hagger, Zarkon’s witch. I take what I want and I want you! “ She cackled, watching him struggle with his magical bonds that held him to the bedposts. He may have been a strong one but her magic was much stronger.

“ Miss Hagger, I hardly know you, “ Molag pleaded, “ Can’t we get to know each other better before you do this to me? “

Hagger climbed up on the bed, “ But what other better way is there to get to know someone my dear? “

Molag quivered, hoping someone would rescue him….
